The Grande Hotel, Beira Exhibition.
We love Mozambique, unlike South Africa it is a land of contrasts, as they endured a devastating civil war lasting 15 years while the country is opening up to tourism in leaps and bounds, the contrasts of the life pre-war and post war are there to be seen by the naked eye. This exhibition brings a new light to this African country. We hope to see you at the opening of a wonderful exhibition at gallery MOMO. Details after the jump. The exhibition opens on the 30th of May 2013. Time: 6PM Concludes: 17 June 2013 For more details visit:...
